The Japan society of oriental medicine created a committee of medical safety in 2017. The first activity was to summarize the representative side effects of Kampo medicine and to enlighten members of our society about them. In this report, we documented the knowledge to keep in mind at present on pseudoaldosteronism, drug-induced liver injury, and drug-induced lung injury. Since these three major side effects may cause clinically severe conditions, it is very important to detect them early and take appropriate measures. Therefore, proper examinations at the right time are necessary while taking Kampo medicine.
